It
was
hope
that
inspired
christmas
addicts,
the
first
one
to
die
in
the
american
revolution,
our
first
martyr.
It
was
hope
that
persuaded
thomas
jefferson
to
write
and
the
constitution
that
all
men-
and
I
would
say
women-
are
created
equal.
Yes,
it
was
hope
that
led
president
abraham
lincoln
to
sign
the
emancipation
proclamation,
and
it
was
hoped
that
gave
mahelia
jackson,
her
song
and
thurgood
marshall,
his
victory
as
we
come

memorial
day
weekend.

On

Councilman
parker
offers,
on
behalf
of
council
president
clark,
a
resolution
approving
the
redevelopment
contract
to
the
philadelphia
redevelopment
authority
for
the
redevelopment
and
urban
middle
of
a
portion
of
the
model
cities.
Governmental
area
identified
by
house
number
street
addresses
1221
through
1225
north
fork
street.
J
The
department
then
selects
one
of
the
two
candidates
to
fill
the
position.
The
elimination
of
the
rule
of
two
will
give
the
city
significantly
more
flexibility
to
address
recruitment
and
diversity
challenges
and
will
have
two
major
impacts
on
the
city's
recruitment
and
selection
process.
First,
it
will
increase
the
diversity
of
candidate
pools.
J
The
resolution
was
a
september
2015
article
in
the
inquirer
by
tom
ferrick,
and
in
this
article
he
wrote
that
if
philadelphia's
leadership
wanted
to
get
serious
about
having
a
city
workforce
that
reflects
the
city,
those
leaders
were
going
to
have
to
tackle
what
is
called
the
rule
of
two
of
eric's
article.
It
went
on
to
detail
how
our
local
government
workforce
it
doesn't
reflect
the
city
of
today
he
wrote,
and
I
quote,
blacks,
latinos
and
asians
are
under
represented
when
it
comes
to
local
government
jobs.
J
Women
of
all
races
and
ethnic
origins
are
as
well
his
analysis.
Mr
president,
found
that
for
the
4
000
plus
city
employees,
who
earned
70
000
a
year
or
more
64
of
them
were
white
and
92
and
72
percent
were
male
and
for
the
4,
000
or
so
city
employees
who
earned
35
000
a
year
or
less
67
percent
were
black
and
55
were
male.
J
Ferrick
went
on
to
say
that
he
found
that
the
average
salary
of
a
white
worker
at
that
time
it
was
sixty
thousand
one
hundred
and
seven
dollars
that
it
was
about
ten
thousand
six
hundred
forty
two
dollars
more
than
the
average
salary
for
a
black
employee
which,
at
that
time
earned
49
465
dollars.
He
also
cited
examples
such
as
a
police
commissioner,
for
instance,
may
want
to
hire
someone
who
speaks
mandarin
for
the
police
force.
J
I
have
heard
confidentially
from
numerous
city
employees,
almost
all
of
whom
are
employees
of
color
who
feel
they
have
been
disadvantaged
by
the
current
system.
These
include
employees
in
parks
and
recreation,
the
water
department,
the
fire
department
and
the
police
department
among
others.
I
am
of
the
firm
belief
that
it
is
one
thing
for
an
employer
to
say
that
black
lives
matter
and
an
entirely
different
thing
for
an
employer
to
make
real
substantive
changes
that
ensure
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
J
It
was
found
that
no
other
municipality
adhered
to
for
a
rule
of
two
all
had
more
expansive
rules
like
a
rule
of
five
or
a
rule
of
ten,
and
then
approximately
twenty
percent
of
them
use
what
we
call
a
varying
rule
and-
and
that,
mr
president,
is
what
this
legislation
proposes.
I
want
to
thank
you,
mr
president,
along
with
the
administration
for
working
with
me
and
caring
about
this
issue
in
such
a
cooperative
manner.
J
I
also
want
to
thank
the
pew
charitable
research
and
the
committee
of
70
for
their
research
and
non-partisan
analysis
of
this
issue.
My
goal
is
for
this
legislation
to
be
heard
and
hopefully
passed
by
june
24th,
and
then
it
will
go
on
the
november
2021
ballot
as
a
ballot
question
for
all
residents
of
the
city
of
philadelphia
to
weigh
in
on-
and
I
thank
you,
mr
president,
for
your
time
and
colleagues.
Thank
you
all
for
the
leeway.

As
we
know,
we
have
a
very
significant,
affordable
housing
problem
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
This
body
has
stepped
up
and
taken
leadership
in
creating
a
housing
trust
fund,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
this
entity
has
the
resource
it
needs
going
forward,
and
we
don't
have
this
issue
going
forward
in
reference
to
providing
affordable
housing
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.

Last
year
we
had

encampment
at

Parkway
we've
had
a
significant
issue,
I
know
in
the
community.
I
support
very
strongly.
The
disability
community,
affordable
housing,
has
been
a
problem
for
a
number
of
years
and
through
this
legislation
and
having
ongoing
conversation
with
the
administration,
we
hope
to
move
forward
this
legislation
and
bring
it
to
the
voters
that
way.
We
can
make
sure
that
the
housing
trust
fund
has
the
resource
it
needs
in
order
to
help
to
really
address
the
significant,
affordable
housing
problem
that
we
have
in

What
we're
really
trying

touch
as
many
people
as
possible,
and
if
this
is
an
additional
incentive
that
will
encourage
people

be

then
I
think
that
we
are
all
for
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say

A
Thank
you
and
good
morning
again
we
are
going
to
proceed
now
that
everyone
is
connected
to
the
meeting
and
before
considering
the
resolutions
and
bills
we
have
before
us
today,
we
will
consider
public
comment
and
go
as
follows.
Public
comment
must
concern
matters
on
the
second
reading
and
final
pass
calendar
for
possible
action
at
a
session
of
counsel,
a
speaker
on
any
of
those
matters
must
sign
up.
In
order
to
testify.
You
must
call
215
686
3406
by
3
pm
the
day
before
the
session,
to
sign
up
for
public
comment.
A
When
you
call
we
will
take
your
name
phone
number,
the
number
of
the
legislative
item
you
are
commenting
on
and
whether
you
are
in
support
of
or
against
the
legislation
and
add
your
name
to
the
list.
We
will
telephone
each
person
on
the
list
during
the
council
session
and
invite
them
to
our
remote
meeting
under
ideal
circumstances.
A
They
will
each
have
three
minutes
to
speak
today.
We
actually
have
about
those
circumstances,
so
we
will
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
In
order
to
be
fair
to
all
those
wishing
to
speak,
I
intend
to
hold
faithfully
to
the
established
time
limit
and
once
invited
to
the
meeting.
You
are
asked
to
begin
your
testimony.
A
timer
will
be
started.
A
We
will
monitor
your
remaining
time
throughout
your
testimony
and
when
there
are
30
seconds
remaining
to
your
time,
you
will
be
reminded
of
this,
but
once
your
allotted
time
has
passed,
you
will
be
asked
to
conclude
your
test
your
remarks
shortly.
Thereafter,
you
will
be
muted
and
disconnected
from
the
remote
meeting.
A
I
also
reserve
the
right
to
limit
the
number
of
speakers
where
repetitious
comments
are
being
made
on
the
same
subject
matter
and
to
limit
the
scope
of
testimony
to
only
certain
items
on
the
agenda
during
the
public
health
emergency,
which
could
affect
call
backs
to
the
public
comment
at
the
meeting.
Please
be
aware
that
this
is
a
public
meeting
and
it's
being
recorded,
because
the
meeting
is
public
participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable
expectation
of
prophecy.
So,
by
continuing
to
be
in
a
meeting,
you
are
consenting
to
being
reported.
F
Stephanie
nixon,
my
name
is
stephanie
nixon
and
I'm
here
to
comment
on
resolution
number
210486,
which
honors
the
life
and
the
legacy
of
james
b
nixon
jr
and
recognizes
his
impact
on
the
philadelphia
arts
and
culture
community.
I
want
to
thank
councilwoman
sharrelle
parker
for
introducing
the
resolution
and,
more
specifically,
I
want
to
thank
you
councilwoman
for
the
opportunity
to
be
heard
and
equally
importantly,
to
be
heard
publicly,
whereas
this
resolution
gives
direct
honor
to
james
phoenix
and
junior
the
man,
his
life
and
the
legacy
he
left
behind.
F
The
message
I'm
delivering
this
morning
is
specific
in
that.
If
someone
wants
to
know
how
he
lived
his
life,
all
you
have
to
do
is
recognize
his
work.
Look
at
look
at
who
he
supported.
Look
at
the
lies
he
touched
and
hear
from
the
artist
about
the
lives.
He's
helped
change
because
his
work,
his
work
speaks
for
itself
today
because
of
jimmy
there's
a
renewed
and
a
reinforced
foundation
in
the
arts.
Therein
fits
the
truth
of
his
accomplishments
and
his
endeavors.
F
It
sits
within
the
organizations
of
both
papa
the
pennsylvania
academy
of
the
fine
arts
and
the
woodmere
art
museum.
Just
to
name
a
few
and
also
several
boards
that
he
sat
on
this
is
a
clear
message
of
a
great
man
doing
great
things.
Jim
nixon
refused
to
let
his
dreams
remain
dormant
or
his
visions
unseen
or
unfelt.
He
was
action
driven
and
goal-oriented,
and
he
believed
that
the
only
way
he
could
make
the
world
a
better
place
was
to
do
a
little.
Over
15
years
ago.
F
He
became
ceo
of
community
health
systems
and
he
found
himself
in
a
position
to
help
young
people
in
need
of
health
care.
This
was
also
an
opportunity
to
expand
his
vision
and
commitment
to
culture,
local
communities
and
artists
who
had
dreams,
but
no
pathway
to
move
forward
and
no
pathway
for
opportunity
or
success.
F
I
ask
ultimately,
what
is
the
result?
What's
the
end
result,
the
end
result
is
people
come
together.
People
from
different
walks
of
life
come
together
within
many
cultures.
Art
is
a
common
denominator
for
communication.
He
recognized
that
art
influenced
culture
and
culture
influenced
art,
and
it
has
a
tremendous
capacity.
F
F
So
this
morning,
on
behalf
of
the
nixon's
family
and
friends,
I
say
thank
you,
councilwoman
sherelle
parker
for
not
only
hearing
jimmy's
message,
but
for
appreciating
and
embracing
jimmy's
heartfelt
work
to
discover
and
sponsor
artists
in
the
many
different
neighborhoods
within
our
city.
May
this
resolution
bring
forth
to
bear
the
same
magnitude
of
grace
and
humility
as
the
man
we
so
respectfully
honor
james
b,
nixon
jr.
Thank
you.
H
It's
so
very
important
that
the
exclamation
skills,
mental
health,
first
aid
and
other
factors
be
included
into
all
law
enforcement.
Training.
Philadelphia
is
a
large
metropolitan
area.
We
have
universities
and
institutions
here
that
will
supply
us
instructors
and
professionals
to
be
able
to
integrate
the
top
training
necessary
for
law
enforcement
officers
to
be
trained
in,
and
that
is
not
just
going
to
the
range
learning
how
to
shoot,
learning
how
to
use
your
baton
and
other
avenues
of
defense.
H
We
have
seven
levels
of
force.
The
escalating
levels
of
force
up
from
19
actually
1999
up
until
today,
all
of
our
training
has
been
geared
around
a
brazilian
or
a
israeli
model
of
force,
and
we
need
to
change
that
into
a
guardian
where
we
can
deal
with
a
community
that
might
be
hostile
towards
police,
but
police
should
not
be
hostile
towards
them.
I
support
this
resolution
whatever
is
necessary
to
have
that
reviewed
and
be
able
to
implement
it.
H
A
President,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
decker.
That
concludes
our
public
comment
session.
We
will
now
consider
today's
resolution
consent
agenda.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
plea.
Read
the
titles
of
all
the
resolutions
on
the
consent
agenda
after
each
title
is
read.
Any
member
may
object
to
the
inclusion
of
the
resolution
on
the
resolution
consent
agenda
upon
such
an
objection
without
debate.
The
resolution
will
be
immediately
removed
from
the
resolution
consent
agenda
and
placed
on
today's
regular
final
passage
calendar.

An

repealing

it
with

M

I
want
to
also
say
to
my
colleagues
that
two
days
ago
marked
the
one
year
anniversary
of
the
death
of
george
floyd
since
that
time,
over
3
000
police
related
bills,
ordinances
have
been
introduced
around
the
country.
30
states
have
introduced
commissions
similar
in

to
the
citizens,
police

Commission,
none
like
this,
but
similar
in
its
intent,
but
even
with
that
kind
of
progress,
since
george
floyd's
murder
over
a
thousand
people
have
been
killed
due
to
police
involved
shootings,
1
000..
M
M
M
I
want
us
to
remember
that
today
we
have
an
opportunity
to
build
and
launch
a
ship,
but
even
with
the
passage
of
this
ordinance,
we
still
have
to
fuel
that
ship
through
properly
giving
it
a
budget
we
have
to
find
its
captain.
We
have
to
find
its
crew
so
that
it
can
sail
beyond
our
actions
here
today.

The
contract
with
the
fop
and
other
things
that
are
related
to
the
successful
mission
of
the
commission,
there
were
stakeholders
that
helped
us
along
the
way
power
live
free
was
our
our
conscious.
The
defenders
association
were
invaluable
in
putting
together
some
of
the
components
of
how
this
legislation
should
be
governed.
The
administration
was
cooperative
from
its
police,
commissioner
to
its
managing
director
to
its
mayor,
and
we
thank
them.
M
M
A

J
H
A
K
Thank
you,
council
president,
real
briefly,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
first
and
foremost
to
my
colleagues
on
council
for
your
support
throughout
the
course
of
this
journey,
as
it
relates
to
this
particular
legislation.
Specifically,
I
want
to
thank
our
chair
of
of
our
committee,
our
public
health
committee
and
council
member
bass.
K
The
goal
here
is
to
put
us
in
a
position
where,
when
we
see
a
certain
type
of
transactions
take
place
specifically
involving
our
health
care,
facilities
is
done
in
a
way,
that's
transparent
and
it's
done
in
a
way
that
does
not
create
a
ripple
effect
of
problems
similar
to
what
we've
seen
with
the
hanuman
closing
for
the
employees
for
the
patients
and
their
families,
as
well
as
the
constituents
of
philadelphia.
So
thank
you,
council
president,
for
allowing
me
to
make
a
brief
statement
about
this
bill
and
I
am
excited
for
our
vote
today.

F
A
D
D
This
bill,
which
has
been
referred
to
as
the
coerced
to
work
legislation,
would
put
an
end
to
pennsylvania's
participation
and
three
pandemic
unemployment
benefit
programs,
the
pandemic
unemployment,
compensation
program,
the
pandemic
unemployment
assistance
program
and
the
pandemic
unemployment
compensation
program.
These
federal
programs
have
been
a
lifeline
to
one
million
pennsylvanians,
as
they
have
began
to
piece
back
their
lives
after
trauma
and
the
devastation
caused
by
this
pandemic.
D
D
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
derek
green
for
co-introducing
this
important
resolution,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
resolutions:
co-sponsors,
council
members,
johnson,
gilmore,
richardson,
keone
sanchez,
heenan,
parker,
gim,
gautier,
dom
and
thomas.
Thank
you
so
much
council
president,
I'm
here
for
adoption
of
the
resolution.
Second.
A
E
I
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
speeches
on
well.
Let
me
try
to
recognize
it
prior
to
recognizing
members
regarding
species.
I
will
know
for
the
record
this
time
we
will
use
the
chat
feature
available
with
microsoft's
teams
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
the
sunshine
act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
this
particular
purpose.
With
that
said,
are
there
any
speeches
on
behalf
of
the
minority?
I
I
I
But
too
often
it
is,
with
brute
force,
usually
multiple
officers
and
that's
not
what
they
want
many
times.
It's
not
what
we
want.
It's,
not
one.
What
the
person
wants,
who
is
being
the
target
of
that,
but
whose
fault
is
it
if
they
are
not
trained?
I
would
say
it's
the
employer's
fault:
the
employer
has
to
provide
the
training
and
the
resources,
the
mentality
and
the
skills
to
have
the
confidence
to
do
the
job
properly.
I
I
I
I
I'm
saying
instruction
is
one
thing:
training
is
another
thing.
You
have
to
provide
instruction
directives
with
the
appropriate
level
of
training
within
enough
repetition
and
thoughtfulness
that
that
training
is
meaningful.
If
we
really
want
to
change
the
outcomes
in
addition
to
the
goods
things
this
council,
one
of
the
obvious
things
we
have
to
do
is
invest
training
officers
don't
want.
This
is
training
officers
want,
we
have
to
make
it
convenient
for
them.
We
have
to
make
it
available
to
them.
We
have
to
give
them
options
and
choices.
That's
what
the
resolution
is
for.
I
K
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
am.
I
just
want
to
give
my
colleagues
a
head
up.
Heads
up,
I'm
gonna
be
a
little
long-winded
today.
I
don't
normally
do
this,
but
and
I'm
not
even
going
to
have
a
lot
of
energy.
I
actually
got
my
second
vaccination
today
and
I
want
to
encourage
all
philadelphia's
to
get
vaccinated.
K
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
look
like
me
that
are
a
little
worried
about
it,
so
I've
tried
my
best
to
communicate
publicly
my
entire
journey
as
it
relates
to
being
reluctant
as
well
as
getting
vaccinated.
So
I
feel
great
my
shoulder
is
a
little
sore,
so
that
impacted
the
sleeping
along
with
this
seven
month
year.
Old
guy
kicking
me
all
night,
so
you
know
please
philadelphia
get
vaccinated,
that's
first
and
foremost
outside
of
that.
K
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
congratulate
my
colleague,
councilmember
jones,
the
bill
that
we
voted
on
today.
I
feel
like
my
bill
was
significant
absolutely,
but
I
think
councilmember
jones's
bill
today
is
historic
in
nature
and
I
think
people
all
across
the
the
commonwealth
and
all
across
the
country
honestly
are
looking
at
philadelphia
as
an
example
and
councilmember
jones
talked
about
a
lot
of
things
that
other
council
members
are
working
on,
as
it
relates
to
this
issue
of
communities
of
color
and
policing.
K
But
another
issue
that
I
know
councilmember
jones
cares
about
because
I've
been
working
with
them
on.
This
is
this
issue
of
our
black-led
institutions,
and
my
colleague
and
I
signed
up
to
testify
last
week
at
the
school
board
hearing
only
to
find
out
that
the
school
board
hearing
was
not
made
open
to
the
public.
There
were
some
technical
issues
that
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
it
was
legal
for
the
meeting
to
continue
to
happen.
People
would
only
listen
via
zoom
and
so
for
the
significance
of
what
we
had
to
talk
about.
K
I
could
not
communicate
my
comments
there,
so
I
am
going
to
communicate
them
here
today.
Most
of
my
colleagues
on
council
know
me,
but
for
those
who
are
not
who
are
not
familiar
with
my
background,
I'm
a
public
school
grad,
I've.
I
went
to
our
schools.
I
care
deeply
about
our
schools,
but
I've
also
worked
in
african-centered,
led
charter
schools,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
there's
a
distinct
difference
having
being
someone
who
attended
public
schools.
K
My
father's,
a
retired
teacher
and
I
taught
in
public
schools
between
what
goes
on
in
african
center
schools
and
any
other
type
of
institution,
and
I'm
not
going
to
get
too
much
into
that
stuff
today,
because
I
think
I've
done
that
enough
in
a
number
of
different
council
sessions.
But
what
I
am
going
to
get
to
today
is
some
of
the
activity
that's
been
taking
place
as
it
relates
to
how
these
institutions
have
been
treated
myself
and
councilmember
jones.
K
I'm
sorry
they
added
to
the
agenda
to
take
a
vote
on
two
more
black-led
institutions
that
they
eventually
voted
to
close
and
again.
This
was
done
immediately
after
our
meeting
where
we
communicated
what
we
felt
like
was
examples
of
institutional
racism,
as
it
relates
to
how
these
schools
had
been
treated
and
it
didn't
stop
there.
Unfortunately,
we
had
dialogue
around
an
independent
review
and
it
was
agreed
upon
that
the
independent
review
process
would
be
a
process
that
would
be
a
collective
decision.
K
So
we
can
assure
that
whoever
is
selected
to
do
this
independent
review
that,
unfortunately,
is
going
to
take
two
years
and
I'll
get
into
that
in
a
minute
would
be
somebody
that
is
a
neutral
party,
and
I
am
here
to
complain
about
the
fact
that
since
our
meeting,
we
unfortunately
have
not
heard
from
anyone
as
it
relates
to
what
this
process
is
going
to
consist
of.
So
at
this
point
I'm
extremely
frustrated.
K
I
understand
the
concerns
of
the
citizens
of
philadelphia
who
talk
about
the
difficulties
they
have
with
the
school
board
and
how
it
is
not
easy
to
have
the
level
of
transparency
that's
needed
as
it
relates
to
decisions
as
it
relates
to
people
being
able
to
atte
to
to
testify.
In
other
issues,
that's
been
communicated
to
this
council
body.
K
This
is
the
same
school
board,
who
came
again
to
this
council
body
and
asked
us
to
expedite
our
vote
to
move
forward
in
an
efficient
way
to
try
to
get
these
school
board
members
in
place
so
that
they
can
take
care
of
what
they
call
urgent
business
come
to
find
out.
The
urgent
business
is
closing
more
black-led
institutions.
K
Now
we
have
to
talk
about
this
issue
with
the
surrender
clause
because
we
have
raised
the
concern
around
the
surrender
cross.
We
have
raised
concerns
around
the
legality
of
the
surrender
clause
and
how
this
is
again
another
tool
that
has
only
been
used
for
black
led
institutions.
So
I'm
frustrated
at
this
point.
I
don't
know
what
direction
to
go
in,
but
what
I
will
do
is
this
and
I'll
close
out
here.
One
of
my
mentors
served
as
a
school
board.
Member.
At
one
point
I
mean
akbar
and
amin.
K
K
It
is
not
fair
how
we
are
seeing
how
they're
disproportionately
treated
so
we
are
extremely
frustrated
with
the
school
board
as
it
relates
to
the
school
district
of
philadelphia
near
governance,
and
I
am
asking
my
council
colleagues
to
begin
to
brainstorm
with
me
and
other
leaders
across
the
city
of
philadelphia
what
we
need
to
do
about
the
governance
of
our
schools,
because
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
citizens
voted
for
me.
I
took
I've.
I've
toured
these
schools.
I
was
raised
in
these
schools.
K
So,
colleagues,
you
will
be
hearing
from
me
as
it
relates
to
the
direction
that
we
should
go
in,
but
what's
happening
right
now
is
alarming.
His
criminal
and
his
council
body
will
not
stand
for
it.
Thank
you,
council
president,
for
allowing
me
a
little
more
with
leeway
than
what
I
would
normally
take,
because
this
is
an
important
issue
and
thank
you,
council,
colleagues,
for
your
patience
today
and
you
will
hear
from
me
moving
forward
as
it
relates
to
this.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
mr
president.
First
I
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilmember
thomas
for
his
impassioned
speech
and
also
congratulate
my
district
council
member
and
colleague
councilmember
jones,
on
the
passage
of
the
legislation
around
the
police
commission.
I
just
thank
you
for
your
work,
all
the
hard
work
and
research
that
you
put
into
this
and
for
allowing
us
to
be
a
part
of
this
process
with
you,
and
especially
to
winfield
native
samantha
williams,
for
all
of
the
work
that
she
put
into
this
process.
D
But
today,
mr
president,
I
introduced
the
bill
reforming
our
a
minor
curfew
law.
First,
I
wanted
to
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
co-sponsored
the
bill.
Council
members,
johnson,
parker,
quinones
sanchez
brooks
dom
kim
bass
and
thomas,
and
especially
thank
my
colleague,
councilmember
johnson,
for
all
of
his
help
and
support
through
all
of
the
meetings
we
have
had
recently
with
the
administration
and
to
council
member
gim
in
her
absence
for
hosting
conversations
with
young
people
around
the
supports
they
need
and
want
to
see
from
the
city
of
philadelphia.
D
The
bill
introduced
today
simplifies
the
curfew
times
to
make
them
easier
to
understand.
Currently,
we
have
a
model
with
different
times
from
school
year
versus
summer
weekday
versus
weekend
and
the
last
bill.
The
last
time
the
curfew
bill
was
worked
on
in
council,
and
I
was
a
legislative
aide
back
then
for
our
former
council
member
blondel,
reynolds
brown
that
bill
had
a
sunset
provision.
D
D
Mr
president,
reforming
the
curfew
law
by
simplifying
the
times,
removing
the
fines
and
connecting
young
people
and
families
to
social
services
will
help
us
keep
more
kids
safe
and
address
the
potential
underlying
challenges
that
often
lead
to
young
people
being
out
late.
Often,
young
people
get
caught
up
in
dangerous
situations
simply
because
they
are
out
too
late.
D
I
also
want
to
thank
deputy
mayor
cynthia
figueroa,
commissioner
kimberly
ali
from
the
department
of
human
services
and
deputy
commissioner
joel
dales
for
their
partnership
to
quickly
establish
these
centers,
and
I
look
forward
to
our
continued
work
together
to
support
youth
and
young
people
and
to
work
on
this
bill
and
get
this
finished
before
the
end
of
this
session.
Thank
you
very
very
much,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
colleagues.
C
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I
want
to
give
you
know
a
shout
out
to
my
colleagues,
gilmore
richardson
jones
and
thomas
for
their
fantastic
work
that
they've
been
doing.
You
know,
congratulations,
councilman
jones,
on
the
passage
of
your
legislation,
which
I
think
is
a
game
changer
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
so
I'm
really
excited
for
that
and
for
the
other
work,
that's
being
done
by
my
colleagues
as
well.
I
wanted
to
just
briefly
mention
three
things
today.
C
The
first
is
that
representative
chris
rapp
I
just
found
on
instagram,
is
having
the
black
mother
racial
disparities
in
health
care
conference.
Today,
at
one
o'clock,
you
can
get
more
information
on
that
by
going
to
www.reprab.com
click
on
special
event
and
they're,
going
to
be
discussing
why
there
are
health
care
disparities
in
the
black
community,
especially
among
seniors
and
pregnant
women,
and,
as
you
know,
a
woman
in
the
city
who
was
pregnant
and
who
had
complications
from
that
pregnancy.
C
You
know
I
I'd
love
to
compare
myself
to
you,
know:
celebrities
like
beyonce
and
serena
williams,
but
the
one
thing
that
we
have
in
common
was
a
difficult
pregnancy
with
preeclampsia,
and
so
you
know
addressing
these
issues
is
just
critically
important
for
the
safety
of
mothers
and
children
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
as
a
chair
of
health
and
human
services.
I
really
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
go
again
to
www.reprap
and
get
more
information
check.
It
check
it
out.
It's
today
at
one
o'clock,
so
it'll
be
held
shortly.
C
The
second
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
just
briefly,
is
the
passing
of
miss
jessie
lee
coleman,
who
was
the
former
spouse
of
council
president
and
member
joe
coleman,
long-time
member
and
council
president,
and
I
you
know
I
I
knew
her.
I
didn't
know
her
well,
but
I
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
her
and
I
have
to
say
that
she
was
a
class
act
all
the
way,
and
you
know
just
for
my
brief
interactions
with
her.
You
could
tell
that
she
was
somebody
really
special
the
papers.
C
There
was
an
obituary
in
the
philadelphia
inquirer
and
it
described
her
as
the
first
lady
of
city
council.
I
would
actually
say
she
was
the
first
lady
of
all
of
philadelphia
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
just
take
a
moment
of
silence
and
recognition
and
remembrance
of
this
very
fine,
very
classy,
wonderful
person
who
cared
so
deeply
about
the
city
of
philadelphia.
A
C
C
As
the
chair
of
health
and
human
services,
I
speak
today
and
again
recommend
and
support.
Dr
ayla
stanford,
the
founder
of
the
black
doctors,
covet
19
consortium
to
be
the
next
health
commissioner
for
the
city
of
philadelphia,
and
while
the
whole
world
was
watching
reports
on
local
and
national
news
about
african
americans
and
hispanics
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
being
underserved
with
covet
testing
access
to
covet
vaccines
and
access
to
good
health
in
general,
dr
ayla
stanford
really
stood
up
for
us
in
a
significant
way.
C
Dr
stanford
is
a
physician
and
very
experienced
physician.
She
has
an
impeccable
record
of
delivering
patient
care
and
with
distinctive
specialty
qualifications
and
caring
for
both
children
and
adults,
while
being
double,
boarded
and
certified
by
the
american
board
of
surgery
in
both
general
adult
and
pediatric
general
and
thoratic
surgery.
C
The
world
watch
as
dr
stanford
gathered
together,
black
doctors,
nurses
and
community
members
to
volunteer
their
time
as
she
used
her
own
money
and
donations
from
organizations
to
to
sustain
the
movement
while
churches,
mass
mosques
and
community
centers
opened
their
doors
as
testing
and
vaccine
sites.
So
we
all
stood
up
again
together.
C
The
black
doctors
consortium
has
been
talented
as
a
national
model
for
decreasing
health
care
inequities
and
accessing
assessing
underserved
communities.
They
have
vaccinated
over
43
000
individuals
with
86
percent
of
them
coming
from
communities
of
color
of
this
86
percent,
78
percent
were
individual
black
philadelphians.
C
C
Then
this
is
really
what
must
be
done,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
who
have
signed
on
to
this
letter
and
in
support
of
this
effort
apologize.
But
I
don't
have
everyone's
name
in
front
of
me,
but
I
know
that
very
much
a
significant
portion
of
the
council
has
to
stood
by
and
is
in
support
of
dr
stanford
receiving
this
appointment.
So
we
call
on
mayor
kenny
to
do
the
right
thing
in
our
opinion
and
to
appoint
dr
stala,
dr
ayla
stanford
as
health
commissioner.
M
Mr
president,
you
gave
me
well
let
me
let
me
take
this
opportunity,
mr
president,
to
amen
what
remember
thomas
talked
about.
I
would
briefly
just
say
that
I've
been
in
council
now
entering
my
14th
year.
There
was
a
child
that
went
to
public
school,
that
wound
up
miseducated
and
is
in
a
adult
penal
institution.
M
Today
there
are
more
young
people
in
certain
zip
codes
in
my
district
up
on
state
road
in
prison
than
in
the
local
high
school
overbook,
the
miseducation
of
our
children
and
limiting
our
options
for
our
children
is
a
civil
rights
issue
and
I
intend
to
be
focused
along
with
remember,
thomason
members
of
the
education
committee
and
my
colleagues
to
to
rectify
this
issue,
because
I
think
other
than
family
supports
around
our
children
other
than
as
you
fight
for.
Mr
president,
job
opportunities
for
at-risk
individuals
in
our
poor
communities
fighting
poverty.
